Nov. 2014 This week I got an unexpected health diagnosis. It kind of knocked my socks off. It also took away my ability to make beads anymore. So I am changing my blog. I am sure I will write about beads sometimes. I have a whole studio to part with, but I have health issues that are much more important and I want to share my thoughts and challenges on this blog. I hope you will come along with me and share your words of wisdom or encouragement.

UPDATE

Just a quick note to let you know that I am still kicking. I have a show Sunday and I am in my usual panic mode. I work best that way. HB is off to St Louis to stay with grandson #1, which is a good thing because I can work and sleep when I want. I do this every show although I promise myself each time that next time I will be more organized. I just think I work better under pressure. I will try to post some pictures before the show. Have a great week everyone. Oh wait. Here is a necklace I made.

About Me

I am a retired registered nurse who began making beads in 1999. Before glass owned me I was a quilter and an oil painter. In Nov. of 2014 I learned that I have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. I was advised by my pulmonologist to stop making beads immediately. He said that although he could not prove that beadmaking was responsible for my disease, inhaling the fumes and possible debis from glass making would only make things worse. Therre is no cure for IPF and I want to protect my lungs as much as I can. So I have moved on to different forms of art.
